Windows will run inside Desqview at SVGA resolutions, but Desqview will only
save, at most, 256K of the video if you switch to another Desqview window.  
Since 800x600x256 requires 512K, you're going to lose part of the display
whenever you switch back to Windows.  So, if you don't plan on switching
from Windows, go ahead and use the SVGA mode.  Of course, if you're not
going to switch to another Desqview window, why use Desqview at all?

I regularly use SVGA programs inside of Desqview, but I usually never switch
away to another window unless the program has a command to refresh the screen
or I don't care about losing part of the display.
